The first macro-performance developed by La Fura for a commercial brand (Pepsi). More than 10,000 people watched live the evolutions of a giant marionette that interacted with various staging elements on a large scale.

Taking the concept of cultural diversity as a conceptual starting point, Manes develops different metaphors about basic elements of birth, death, sex and food. This performance continues investigation the essence of “Furan language”.

The company’s first incursion into the world of opera. The stage cantata La Atlántida, by Manuel de Falla, was representing using a completely innovative dramaturgy and staging, created in collaboration with Jaume Plensa.
